Skillet Brussels Sprouts Bacon And Onions

• 8 ounces, weight Fresh Pearl Onions
• 4 slices Thick Cut Bacon
• 1/2 Tablespoons Avocado Or Canola Oil (if Necessary)
• 1 pound Brussels Sprouts, Fairly Uniform In Size
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion Powder

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add pearl onions and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove onions and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When cool enough to handle, trim the bottom of the onions with a sharp knife. Hold onion between 2 fingers, and squeeze from the top-onion will slide out easily. Toss skins.
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat. When finished, remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Cut into small dice.
3. If needed, add a little bit of oil to skillet. Add pearl onions and a dash of salt. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes to allow onions to caramelize. Toss occasionally.
4. Meanwhile, trim the bottom end of Brussels sprouts. Cut in half lengthwise. Lay Brussels sprouts face-down in skillet. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Turn heat to medium, and cook for about 8 minutes. Turn Brussels sprouts over, and cook for about 6 minutes.
5. Add bacon to skillet, and toss to combine well.
